Opinions please on 6 Ungraded cards

I will pull the cards out and try getting better pictures for the group

The backs of both the Gehrig and Anson look good and that adhesive residue would be hard to fake. The fronts look a little faded, which is to be expected given the backs. I'm far from an expert on either set, but I don't see anything in particular to worry about as far as either being fake.

Are you saying that it is impossible to mount a fake card in a photo album?? That's a new one on me. Also that doesn't bother you that the Anson is missing at least 3 colors on the card??

Thanks Jeff.

And any idea what that weird bluish tint is on the backs of the Mathewson and Young cards? The fact they seem to correspond exactly with what looks like brighter colored sections on the front of those two cards has me thinking some liquid or chemical got spilled on those two, and was absorbed into the cardboard to where it affected their fronts and backs.

I really hope all these cards turn out to be legit for you. (Here's where I'd place a "fingers crossed" emoji, if we had one.)

Or here's a weird twist that just occured to me. Could it be that there was some liquid or chemical that got spilled on all those cards, causing them all to look faded and not be so bright, except it somehow missed the bottoms of the Mathewson and Young cards, leaving them normal?

I'd really like to see these cards in hand, alongside other clean, authentic versions of cards from each of the same sets. That could really help.
